But you, you lucky 21st century human, only have to plonk down a handful of bills and journey to the Fragrant Leaf Tea Boutique in Nob Hill (3207 Silver SE) to do the same. And instead of saddle sores, you'll get a three course afternoon tea service, with samosas and Afghani meatballs among other delights, while attending a mini-lecture entitled "The Traveling Tea Leaf—Journey to the West." That, my friends, is progress. This all happens on Sunday, June 15. The tea tastings are scheduled for 1pm and 4pm, cost $33, and prior registration is required to attend. No walk-ins. <b>Fragrant Leaf Tea Boutique • Sun Jun 15 • 1-2:30pm • $33 • ALL-AGES! • <A HREF="http://alibi.com/events/88877/Silk-Road-Adventurers-Afternoon-Tea-Talk.html" >View on <i>Alibi</i> calendar</a></b></p>...<br/>Full story: <A HREF="http://alibi.com/blog/s/alibi+picks/w3412/A-Tea-rrific-Journey.html">A Tea-rrific Journey</A>#type-0-106.609264496,35.07912097243207 Silver Ave. SE
